Answer:

Your awareness of it is a very good start. Arrogance is simply stupidity. For most us, it’s a real turn-off. The Vietnamese have a saying: “your comportment can destroy your looks, cái nết đánh chết cái đẹp.”

The more you progress, the less arrogant you will be and you will also be more likeable.​Be vigilant of thoughts of arrogance. Bring forth the mind of shame of such pettiness. You will eventually outgrow it.
